National Aeronautics and Space Administration to enter into leases of 
non-excess property of the Administration; as follows:

        Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``NASA Enhanced Use Leasing 
     Extension Act of 2021''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress find the following:
       (1) NASA uses enhanced use leasing to enter into agreements 
     with private sector entities, State and local governments, 
     academic institutions, and other Federal agencies for lease 
     of non-excess, underutilized NASA properties and facilities.
       (2) NASA uses enhanced use leasing authority to support 
     responsible management of its real property, including to 
     improve the use of underutilized property for activities that 
     are compatible with NASA's mission and to reduce facility 
     operating and maintenance costs.
       (3) In fiscal year 2019, under its enhanced use lease 
     authority, NASA leased 65 real properties.
       (4) In fiscal year 2019, NASA's use of enhanced use leasing 
     resulted in the collection of $10,843,025.77 in net revenue.
       (5) In fiscal year 2019, NASA used a portion of its 
     enhanced use leasing revenues for repairs of facility control 
     systems such as lighting and heating, ventilation, and air 
     conditioning.
       (6) NASA's use of enhanced use leasing authority can 
     contribute to reducing the rate of increase of the Agency's 
     overall deferred maintenance cost.

     SEC. 3. EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO LEASES OF NON-
                   EXCESS PROPERTY OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 
                   SPACE ADMINISTRATION.

     amended by striking ``December 31, 2021'' and inserting 
     ``March 31, 2022''.

     SEC. 4. DETERMINATION OF BUDGETARY EFFECTS.

       The budgetary effects of this Act, for the purpose of 
     complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall 
     be determined by reference to the latest statement titled 
     ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation'' for this Act, 
     submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the 
     Chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that such 
     statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.
